"Jeremy Lin is a good enough player to start in the NBA and possibly star," Lin wrote in May 2010.

Weiland told the Wall Street Journal there were two current college players his numbers say give them high upsides on the NBA level. One of them is Marquette forward Jae Crowder. The other is 6-8 forward Tony Mitchell of North Texas.

"I think the biggest sleeper now is Jae Crowder from Marquette, unless he falls apart the last part of the season," Weiland told Patrick. "He is a small forward, kind of a do-everything guy. I'd like him better if he scored more points (16.2 avg.). He does score enough to make him a good prospect."

Weiland said he thought Mitchell "probably will rise into the top five" by the time the draft arrives.
